Breach of Contract
What is a breach of contract?
The Contracts Law (Remedies for Breach of Contract), Tashla-1970, defines a breach as an act or omission that is contrary to the contract. A breach can take many forms: non-payment, non-supply, delay, partial or defective supply, and breach of ancillary provisions. The law distinguishes between an "ordinary" breach and a fundamental breach: a breach such that a reasonable person would not have entered into the contract had they foreseen it, or that the parties defined as such in the contract, subject to the limitations of the law on sweeping clauses. The distinction has enormous practical significance: a fundamental breach may confer a right of cancellation without an extension, but notice of cancellation is required within a reasonable time and in accordance with the agreement and the law.
Partnership and Company Disputes
The most painful business dispute
A partners’ dispute is a business divorce: people who built a business together, sometimes friends or family members, find themselves on opposite sides of the barricade, with the business, the livelihood, and the reputation of both caught in the middle. The familiar sparks: gaps in investment and output ("I do the work, he disappears"), unilateral withdrawals of funds, suspicions of concealed income, secretly establishing a competing business, and the entry of the next generation or spouses into the picture.
Partition of Jointly Owned Real Estate
The right to exit co-ownership: almost absolute
Section 37 of the Real Estate Law establishes a fundamental principle: every co-owner of real estate is entitled at any time to demand dissolution of the co-ownership. Case law views forced co-ownership as a source of disputes, and therefore the right to dissolution is almost impossible to block: even a small minority co-owner can compel dissolution, subject to narrow exceptions of good faith and restrictive co-ownership agreements, which are themselves limited in time.
Orders and Interim Relief
Why is temporary relief often the real trial?
Civil proceedings last for years, and reality does not wait: an asset is sold, an account is emptied, a trade secret is exploited, a meeting convenes. Temporary relief is intended to freeze the situation until a decision is reached, and in practice, the decision on the temporary relief usually dictates the balance of power and the settlement: whoever obtained an attachment or an injunction manages the case from a position of strength.
